Boy howdy, do I ever see the error of my ways.
What we need is more Enrons, Nationwides and AIGs.
Those damn regulatory agencies, ruining everything for everybody.
Damn near socialism.
Ta, ta for now, off to renew my dittohead credentials.

Excuse me, I should have said "pro-stupid-overegulation or Barney Frank/Chris Dodd-style corrupt stick-it-in-my-back-pocket-and-get-my-friends-re-elected" regulation...you know, the kind that's okay with liberals, especially when they're running the show.Originally Posted by clocker
I have no problem whatsoever with an ethics-based regulation that doesn't seek to replace or coerce natural market forces with human foibles or little re-election "helpers".
BTW-
You have "dittohead" credentials?
Hah.

Given that "ethics" are, by definition, a "human foible", no regulation of natural market forces is acceptable under your qualifiers.

I will grant your recognition of the difficulty in "legislating" ethical behavior, given the current crop of pols in charge; Barney and Christopher are aces at leaving the backdoor open.Given that "ethics" are, by definition, a "human foible", no regulation of natural market forces is acceptable under your qualifiers.

(Do you see what I did there)
Hey, do you think them dems could get behind (sorry) the idea of a Republican ACORN?
BTW-
What do you think of Dodd's current difficulties?

Everyone is brainwashed as they grow up.
If we weren't there wouldn't be different Cultures around the world, just a few billion individuals doing there own thing.

No.
"Brainwashing" assumes the presence of a functional brain, ergo you are safe.
He fucked up and may not get reelected...what is there to "think" about?

Now that he has effectively taken control of the banking system and the auto industry, he is working on the internet with Senate bill 773 and 778. These bills will to all privately owned data networks "without regard to any provision of law, regulation, rule or policy restricting such access." It will also allow them to "shut off" the internet during a "cyber emergency".

Interesting.
As of five minutes ago, the text of these bills is unavailable on the official Senate website and they have just begun to wend their ways through committee.
Not too soon to start freaking out and declaring the end of the world yet, though.
Kind of curious about how Obama has "taken control" of the auto industry...were they not the ones who came begging for money?
